What you’ll see
The headline is the number a DSCR lender cares about: rent divided by the full housing payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA). Above 1.25 is comfortable; below 1.00 means the rent doesn’t cover the payment. Under it you get the full cash flow picture, cash needed to close, and the maximum loan your rent can support.
Enter the numbers for a rental you’re considering. You’ll see the debt service coverage ratio a DSCR lender looks at, plus the monthly cash flow and returns after all expenses. Your work saves automatically.
This calculator gives an estimate for planning only. It isn’t a loan approval, rate quote, appraisal, or tax advice. Lenders calculate DSCR with their own rent figures (usually from the appraisal’s rent schedule or a lease) and their own minimums, and many also require cash reserves. Rates, terms, and eligibility vary. Talk with your loan officer for figures specific to your scenario.
